I went through 4 alternators in one summer. The last one actually caught on fire!
They were all Bosch.
After a long conversation with the head of the SE Reigon for Bosch, I recieved a brand, spanking new Magnet Murelli alternator in the mail along with a personal check from him for $20.00, 3 Bosch T-shirts, and a few hats.
I put the Murelli in and haven't had any problems since.
BTW, it was in a 97 Disco...don't know if RRC has the same type. At least they are easy to change in a Disco!
Whatever you do, do NOT buy a rebuild! |

I agree with Greg. Even though I purchased a rebuild in July of 2001. Six months later it started to go bad. I brought it back and got a new/rebuilt one for free. It still is working. My friend purchased a rebuil from Starter Alternator express (3 year warranty and $109) and had it replaced three times.
You could also purchase a 130 amp alt for a Mustang but you have to get the bracket from Wrangler. I think Larry Grub did this setup and AdrianS is in the process of installing his Mustang alt.
The RR install is very easy just like the Disco install. |

My truck is on its fourth Marelli. This one has lasted the longest.
Of course, this will be the next thing to break!
Next time-Delco. |

no matter what alt. you put in, I would double check all of the grounding wires.. there are 4 major ones to look at.. even if they look fine visually, there is usually a fair amount of corrosion underneath the fancy rubber coating. Replace the alt ground, battery ground, chasis ground on Passenger side front body mount & passenger side rear body mount (right near the trailer wiring access point)
I have had my morelli rebuilt by a local shop and it is working 100% and have not had a problem since I replaced all the grounds (about $40 in parts).. you will be surprised at how many gremlins will disapear...
GOOD LUCK |
